Across crisis-stricken Europe ‘ghost’ airports have freshly painted tarmac, shiny new doors and all the nuts and bolts in place - but no passengers and no airplanes, giving them an eerie aura.
Soaring costs have delayed the ribbon cutting ceremonies, as Europe’s worst recession in 100 years has killed the projects.
The European Commission dispensed millions of euro in funding to boost the infrastructure at regional airports, but they are waiting for travelers and planes that never came, and have become symbols of reckless spending.
“The difficulty you have with the European Union is that ultimately it has all this money that it wants to divest in patronage through grants and all sorts of different sinecures, throughout the land of the 28 nations, and it wants to try and make an economic impact,” Patrick Young, a financial expert, told RT.
People in Brussels “believe money grows on trees, that is the fundamental problem that is pushing the EU towards breaking point,” Young said.
Poland, which joined the EU in 2004, and has been lauded by the Commission for its economic reforms and financial responsibility, received over $125 million (€100 million) to help build and upgrade 12 airports.
Lublin and Rzeszow are in the forested and hilly east part of the country and haven’t yet opened. Lodz airport was given a facelift, but has failed to attract passengers as it’s located just a 50 minute drive away from Warsaw, the country’s largest airport Lodz opened in 2012.
Poland received €615.7 million from the EU to support these financial black holes between 2007 and 2013, according to figures provided by the European Commission to Reuters.
The airports failed to attract budget airlines to operate flights in between the small cities and bigger hubs.
“The relationship between the local airports and low-cost carriers is suicidal,” Jacek Krawczyk, former chairman of Polish national airline LOT told Reuters.
Poland is not the only country in Europe to spend fortunes on white elephants.
On the eastern coast, the €150 million Castellon-Costa airport in Valencia built in 2011 has never seen a single plane land. The runway isn’t long enough to get the license needed to run commercial flights. The airport’s operator anticipates it will serve 50,000 passengers in 2015, and 200,000 by 2017.
Around 80 airports in Europe attract fewer than 1 million passengers a year and about three-quarters of those are in the red, according to industry body Airports Council International.
Germany has spending problems as well when it comes to airports. Berlin’s Brandenburg airport will likely need another €3.2 billion to finally open its doors on top of the €5.4 billion already spent.
Berliners have been waiting for their new facility to open since 2011, but will likely have to wait until 2016 or 2017. It is located south of Berlin next to Schonefeld Airport which is currently operating.

Smart borders': enhancing mobility and security
The EU is moving towards a more modern and efficient border management by using state-of-the-art technology. Today, the Commission proposed a 'smart border package' to speed-up, facilitate and reinforce border check procedures for foreigners travelling to the EU. The package consists of a Registered TravellerProgramme (RTP) and an Entry/ExitSystem (EES) that will simplify life for frequent third country travellers at the Schengen external borders and enhance EU border security.
"The use of new technologies will enable smoother and speedier border crossing for third country citizens who want to come to the EU. Our aim is to facilitate the access of foreign travellers to the EU. This will not only be in the interest of the travellers but also the European economy. It has been estimated that in 2011 alone foreign travellers made a €271 billion contribution to our economy. Modernising our systems will also lead to a higher level of security by preventing irregular border crossings and detecting those who overstay'', said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.
Regulation on an EU Registered Traveller Programme (RTP)
A Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) will allow frequent travellers from third countries to enter the EU using simplified border checks, subject to pre-screening and vetting. It is estimated that 5 million legitimate non EU-travellers per year will make use of this new program. The RTP will make use of automated border control systems (i.e. automated gates) at major border crossing points such as airports that make use of this modern technology. As a result, border checks of Registered Travellers would be much faster than nowadays.
Business travellers, workers on short term contracts, researchers and students, third country nationals with close family ties to EU citizens or living in regions bordering the EU are all likely to cross the borders several times a year. Making it as easy as possible for them to come to the EU would ensure that Europe remains an attractive destination and help boosting economic activity and job creation.
Regulation on an EU Entry/Exit system
An Entry/Exit System (EES) will record the time and place of entry and exit of third country nationals travelling to the EU. The system will calculate the length of the authorised short stay in an electronic way, replacing the current manual system, and issue an alert to national authorities when there is no exit record by the expiry time. In this way, the system will also be of assistance in addressing the issue of people overstaying their short term visa.
The current practice used by Member States when checking a third country national wanting to cross the EU's external borders is based mainly on the stamps in the travel document. This practice is time consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings does not allow detecting overstaying in a workable way and cannot efficiently cope with cases of loss or destruction of the travelling documents. Moreover, today's systems will not allow the EU Member States to deal with the ever increasing pressure of travellers accessing and exiting the EU whose number, at the air borders alone, is expected to increase by 80%, from 400 million in 2009 to 720 million in 2030.
Background
Today's proposals follow a 2011 Communication (IP/11/1234), in which a discussion was launched between EU institutions and authorities about the implementation of new systems, in light of their added value, their technological and data protection implications, and their costs.
The proposals are part of the initiative to strengthen the overall governance of the Schengen area, as announced in the Communication on Migration adopted on 4 May 2011 (IP/11/532 and MEMO/11/273).
Next steps
Negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council on the RTP and the EES legislative proposals will now start. After adoption of the legal texts by the co-legislators, the establishment of the systems will take place with a view to start operations in 2017 or 2018.

Buildings, operations and management have become increasingly sophisticated since the mid 20th century, when international airports began to provide infrastructure for international civilian flights. Detailed technical standards have been developed to ensure safety and common coding systems implemented to provide global consistency. The physical structures that serve millions of individual passengers and flights are among the most complex and interconnected in the world. By the second decade of the 21st century, there were over 1,200 international airports and almost two billion international passengers along with 50 million metric tonnes of cargo were passing through them annually.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia. Further from the Atlantic, seasonal differences increase, but the mildness of the climate remains.

22. Wide of departure gate at airport with posters about security measures
23. Passengers putting liquid in plastic bag

STORYLINE
Flight passengers were restricted to taking only small only amounts of liquids on board planes as strict new security measures on hand baggage went into effect on Monday across the European Union.
The new EU rules limit passengers to carrying 100 millilitres (a fifth of a pint) of liquid per container on board planes - part of regulations imposed after British police said in August that they had broken up a plot to bring down US-bound flights with liquid-based explosives.
New restrictions on the size of carry-on luggage will be introduced in April.
All liquids - not only water and soft drinks but also soups, creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste and shaving cream - are subject to security checks before passengers board their planes.
The containers must fit into a clear re-sealable plastic bag to be presented at security checkpoints, officials said.
The new rules do not affect liquids packed in checked luggage, or drinks and perfumes bought at airport shops after passengers clear security.
Baby foods and medicines also are exempt but can be subject to inspection, officials said.
The rules went into effect on Monday at all airports within the 25-nation EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.

Passengers facing hours in queues at some European airports

Passengers facing hours in queues at some European airports

Passengers facing hours in queues at some European airports

British passengers flying into and out of continental Europe for their summer holidays face the prospect of “devastating” delays because of tougher Schengen area border controls, Europe’s largest airline lobby group has warned.
Aage Duenhaupt, a spokesman for A4E, which represents airlines including BA owner International Airlines Group, Ryanair and easyJet, said thousands of flights had already been delayed because of tighter checks at some EU airports.
Duenhaupt warned that this coming weekend, one of the busiest times of the year for departures from UK airports, there could be delays of up to two hours, with some 200,000 passengers arriving in and departing from Mallorca, for example.
“UnlessSpanish border control puts in place an emergency plan to avoid queues and help passengers to get through faster, there will be a lot of devastating delays for passengers,” he said.“It’s a crazy situation. When arriving, at least delayed passengers don’t miss their flights, but when returning, you need to queue up again and could miss your flight. You need to make sure you are on time at the gate.”
However, airlines and tour operators suggested the problems were not widespread, and delays not always due to immigration issues. Thomas Cook said the border control changes had briefly affected flights in Mallorca in May, when the tour operator briefly brought forward the times for its transfers.
BA, Iberia and Vueling owner IAG said none of its airlines had delayed flights because of the issue, while Monarch said it was “monitoring the situation” and Ryanair said operations were “running as normal” – although the airline is asking passengers to check in three hours before take-off.
An easyJet spokesman said: “Like all other European airlines, easyJet wants European governments to take necessary measures to reduce unnecessary passenger disruption.”
The intermittent delays follow the introduction in March of new EU regulations in the wake of the Paris and Brussels terror attacks. The new rules demand both entry and exit checks on passengers from countries – including Britain – outside the 26-nation Schengen border-free zone.

Travellers passing through Europe this weekend have been advised by airports to arrive at least three hours early to avoid chaos at passport control.
The precautions are being taken in light of the new EU border regulations which require stricter checks for passengers arriving from outside the Schengen area.
Malaga, Mallorca, Lisbon, Milan, Paris-Orly, Lyon and Brussels have all been badly hit.
Airlines are also warning of delays due to strike action at Barcelona airport every Friday, Sunday …

Passengers facing hours in queues at some European airports

British passengers flying into and out of continental Europe for their summer holidays face the prospect of “devastating” delays because of tougher Schengen area border controls, Europe’s largest airline lobby group has warned.
Aage Duenhaupt, a spokesman for A4E, which represents airlines including BA owner International Airlines Group, Ryanair and easyJet, said thousands of flights had already been delayed because of tighter checks at some EU airports.
Duenhaupt warned that this coming weekend, one of the busiest times of the year for departures from UK airports, there could be delays of up to two hours, with some 200,000 passengers arriving in and departing from Mallorca, for example.

Across crisis-stricken Europe ‘ghost’ airports have freshly painted tarmac, shiny new doors and all the nuts and bolts in place - but no passengers and no airplanes, giving them an eerie aura.
Soaring costs have delayed the ribbon cutting ceremonies, as Europe’s worst recession in 100 years has killed the projects.
The European Commission dispensed millions of euro in funding to boost the infrastructure at regional airports, but they are waiting for travelers and planes that never came, and have become symbols of reckless spending.
“The difficulty you have with the European Union is that ultimately it has all this money that it wants to divest in patronage through grants and all sorts of different sinecures, throughout the land of the 28 nations, and it wants to try and make an economic impact,” Patrick Young, a financial expert, told RT.
People in Brussels “believe money grows on trees, that is the fundamental problem that is pushing the EU towards breaking point,” Young said.
Poland, which joined the EU in 2004, and has been lauded by the Commission for its economic reforms and financial responsibility, received over $125 million (€100 million) to help build and upgrade 12 airports.
Lublin and Rzeszow are in the forested and hilly east part of the country and haven’t yet opened. Lodz airport was given a facelift, but has failed to attract passengers as it’s located just a 50 minute drive away from Warsaw, the country’s largest airport Lodz opened in 2012.
Poland received €615.7 million from the EU to support these financial black holes between 2007 and 2013, according to figures provided by the European Commission to Reuters.
The airports failed to attract budget airlines to operate flights in between the small cities and bigger hubs.
“The relationship between the local airports and low-cost carriers is suicidal,” Jacek Krawczyk, former chairman of Polish national airline LOT told Reuters.
Poland is not the only country in Europe to spend fortunes on white elephants.
On the eastern coast, the €150 million Castellon-Costa airport in Valencia built in 2011 has never seen a single plane land. The runway isn’t long enough to get the license needed to run commercial flights. The airport’s operator anticipates it will serve 50,000 passengers in 2015, and 200,000 by 2017.
Around 80 airports in Europe attract fewer than 1 million passengers a year and about three-quarters of those are in the red, according to industry body Airports Council International.
Germany has spending problems as well when it comes to airports. Berlin’s Brandenburg airport will likely need another €3.2 billion to finally open its doors on top of the €5.4 billion already spent.
Berliners have been waiting for their new facility to open since 2011, but will likely have to wait until 2016 or 2017. It is located south of Berlin next to Schonefeld Airport which is currently operating.

Smart borders': enhancing mobility and security
The EU is moving towards a more modern and efficient border management by using state-of-the-art technology. Today, the Commission proposed a 'smart border package' to speed-up, facilitate and reinforce border check procedures for foreigners travelling to the EU. The package consists of a Registered TravellerProgramme (RTP) and an Entry/ExitSystem (EES) that will simplify life for frequent third country travellers at the Schengen external borders and enhance EU border security.
"The use of new technologies will enable smoother and speedier border crossing for third country citizens who want to come to the EU. Our aim is to facilitate the access of foreign travellers to the EU. This will not only be in the interest of the travellers but also the European economy. It has been estimated that in 2011 alone foreign travellers made a €271 billion contribution to our economy. Modernising our systems will also lead to a higher level of security by preventing irregular border crossings and detecting those who overstay'', said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.
Regulation on an EU Registered Traveller Programme (RTP)
A Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) will allow frequent travellers from third countries to enter the EU using simplified border checks, subject to pre-screening and vetting. It is estimated that 5 million legitimate non EU-travellers per year will make use of this new program. The RTP will make use of automated border control systems (i.e. automated gates) at major border crossing points such as airports that make use of this modern technology. As a result, border checks of Registered Travellers would be much faster than nowadays.
Business travellers, workers on short term contracts, researchers and students, third country nationals with close family ties to EU citizens or living in regions bordering the EU are all likely to cross the borders several times a year. Making it as easy as possible for them to come to the EU would ensure that Europe remains an attractive destination and help boosting economic activity and job creation.
Regulation on an EU Entry/Exit system
An Entry/Exit System (EES) will record the time and place of entry and exit of third country nationals travelling to the EU. The system will calculate the length of the authorised short stay in an electronic way, replacing the current manual system, and issue an alert to national authorities when there is no exit record by the expiry time. In this way, the system will also be of assistance in addressing the issue of people overstaying their short term visa.
The current practice used by Member States when checking a third country national wanting to cross the EU's external borders is based mainly on the stamps in the travel document. This practice is time consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings does not allow detecting overstaying in a workable way and cannot efficiently cope with cases of loss or destruction of the travelling documents. Moreover, today's systems will not allow the EU Member States to deal with the ever increasing pressure of travellers accessing and exiting the EU whose number, at the air borders alone, is expected to increase by 80%, from 400 million in 2009 to 720 million in 2030.
Background
Today's proposals follow a 2011 Communication (IP/11/1234), in which a discussion was launched between EU institutions and authorities about the implementation of new systems, in light of their added value, their technological and data protection implications, and their costs.
The proposals are part of the initiative to strengthen the overall governance of the Schengen area, as announced in the Communication on Migration adopted on 4 May 2011 (IP/11/532 and MEMO/11/273).
Next steps
Negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council on the RTP and the EES legislative proposals will now start. After adoption of the legal texts by the co-legislators, the establishment of the systems will take place with a view to start operations in 2017 or 2018.

STORYLINE
Flight passengers were restricted to taking only small only amounts of liquids on board planes as strict new security measures on hand baggage went into effect on Monday across the European Union.
The new EU rules limit passengers to carrying 100 millilitres (a fifth of a pint) of liquid per container on board planes - part of regulations imposed after British police said in August that they had broken up a plot to bring down US-bound flights with liquid-based explosives.
New restrictions on the size of carry-on luggage will be introduced in April.
All liquids - not only water and soft drinks but also soups, creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste and shaving cream - are subject to security checks before passengers board their planes.
The containers must fit into a clear re-sealable plastic bag to be presented at security checkpoints, officials said.
The new rules do not affect liquids packed in checked luggage, or drinks and perfumes bought at airport shops after passengers clear security.
Baby foods and medicines also are exempt but can be subject to inspection, officials said.
The rules went into effect on Monday at all airports within the 25-nation EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.

Passengers facing hours in queues at some European airports

British passengers flying into and out of continental Europe for their summer holidays face the prospect of “devastating” delays because of tougher Schengen area border controls, Europe’s largest airline lobby group has warned.
Aage Duenhaupt, a spokesman for A4E, which represents airlines including BA owner International Airlines Group, Ryanair and easyJet, said thousands of flights had already been delayed because of tighter checks at some EU airports.
Duenhaupt warned that this coming weekend, one of the busiest times of the year for departures from UK airports, there could be delays of up to two hours, with some 200,000 passengers arriving in and departing from Mallorca, for example.
“UnlessSpanish border control puts in place an emergency plan to avoid queues and help passengers to get through faster, there will be a lot of devastating delays for passengers,” he said.“It’s a crazy situation. When arriving, at least delayed passengers don’t miss their flights, but when returning, you need to queue up again and could miss your flight. You need to make sure you are on time at the gate.”
However, airlines and tour operators suggested the problems were not widespread, and delays not always due to immigration issues. Thomas Cook said the border control changes had briefly affected flights in Mallorca in May, when the tour operator briefly brought forward the times for its transfers.
BA, Iberia and Vueling owner IAG said none of its airlines had delayed flights because of the issue, while Monarch said it was “monitoring the situation” and Ryanair said operations were “running as normal” – although the airline is asking passengers to check in three hours before take-off.
An easyJet spokesman said: “Like all other European airlines, easyJet wants European governments to take necessary measures to reduce unnecessary passenger disruption.”
The intermittent delays follow the introduction in March of new EU regulations in the wake of the Paris and Brussels terror attacks. The new rules demand both entry and exit checks on passengers from countries – including Britain – outside the 26-nation Schengen border-free zone.

Top 10 Worst Airports in Europe 2014

What are the top ten worst airports in Europe in 2014?
Longest waits, most lost luggage, ...

NO Passengers, NO Planes ‘GHOST’ Airports Of EUROPE

Across crisis-stricken Europe ‘ghost’ airports have freshly painted tarmac, shiny new doors and all the nuts and bolts in place - but no passengers and no airplanes, giving them an eerie aura.
Soaring costs have delayed the ribbon cutting ceremonies, as Europe’s worst recession in 100 years has killed the projects.
The European Commission dispensed millions of euro in funding to boost the infrastructure at regional airports, but they are waiting for travelers and planes that never came, and have become symbols of reckless spending.
“The difficulty you have with the European Union is that ultimately it has all this money that it wants to divest in patronage through grants and all sorts of different sinecures, throughout the land of the 28 nations, and it wants to try and make an economic impact,” Patrick Young, a financial expert, told RT.
People in Brussels “believe money grows on trees, that is the fundamental problem that is pushing the EU towards breaking point,” Young said.
Poland, which joined the EU in 2004, and has been lauded by the Commission for its economic reforms and financial responsibility, received over $125 million (€100 million) to help build and upgrade 12 airports.
Lublin and Rzeszow are in the forested and hilly east part of the country and haven’t yet opened. Lodz airport was given a facelift, but has failed to attract passengers as it’s located just a 50 minute drive away from Warsaw, the country’s largest airport Lodz opened in 2012.
Poland received €615.7 million from the EU to support these financial black holes between 2007 and 2013, according to figures provided by the European Commission to Reuters.
The airports failed to attract budget airlines to operate flights in between the small cities and bigger hubs.
“The relationship between the local airports and low-cost carriers is suicidal,” Jacek Krawczyk, former chairman of Polish national airline LOT told Reuters.
Poland is not the only country in Europe to spend fortunes on white elephants.
On the eastern coast, the €150 million Castellon-Costa airport in Valencia built in 2011 has never seen a single plane land. The runway isn’t long enough to get the license needed to run commercial flights. The airport’s operator anticipates it will serve 50,000 passengers in 2015, and 200,000 by 2017.
Around 80 airports in Europe attract fewer than 1 million passengers a year and about three-quarters of those are in the red, according to industry body Airports Council International.
Germany has spending problems as well when it comes to airports. Berlin’s Brandenburg airport will likely need another €3.2 billion to finally open its doors on top of the €5.4 billion already spent.
Berliners have been waiting for their new facility to open since 2011, but will likely have to wait until 2016 or 2017. It is located south of Berlin next to Schonefeld Airport which is currently operating.

TIADA Penumpang, TIADA Kapal TERBANG: Lapangan TERBANG 'Hantu' di EROPAH
Eropah telah dicat baru landasan, Di seluruh lapangan terbang yang dilanda krisis 'hantu' pintu baru berkilat dan semua kacang dan bolt di tempatnya - tetapi tiada penumpang dan tiada kapal terbang, memberikan mereka aura2 yang ngeri.
Kos yang melambung tinggi telah melambatkan upacara memotong reben, seperti kemelesetan paling teruk di Eropah dalam tempoh 100 tahun telah membunuh projek2.
Suruhanjaya Eropah ketepikan berjuta-juta euro dalam pembiayaan untuk meningkatkan infrastruktur di lapangan terbang serantau, tetapi mereka sedang menunggu untuk pelancong dan pesawat yang tidak pernah datang, dan telah menjadi simbol perbelanjaan melulu.
"Kesukaran anda mempunyai dengan Kesatuan Eropah yang akhirnya ia mempunyai semua wang ini yang ianya mahu untuk melepaskan dalam naungan melalui geran dan segala macam gaji buta yang berbeza, di seluruh negeri yang 28 negara, dan ia mahu untuk mencuba dan membuat kesan ekonomi, "Patrick Young, seorang pakar kewangan, memberitahu RT.
Orang-orang di Brussels "percaya wang tumbuh di atas pokok, iaitu masalah asas yang menolak EU ke arah titik yang pecah," kata Young.
Poland yang menyertai Kesatuan Eropah pada tahun 2004, dan telah dipuji oleh Suruhanjaya bagi pembaharuan ekonomi dan tanggungjawab kewangan, menerima lebih $125 juta (€ 100 juta) untuk membantu membina dan menaik taraf 12 lapangan terbang.
Lublin dan Rzeszow adalah di bahagian hutan dan berbukit timur negara itu dan belum dibuka. Lapangan Terbang di Lodz telah diberi wajah baru, tetapi telah gagal untuk menarik penumpang kerana ianya terletak hanya dalam jarak 50 minit pemanduan dari Warsaw, lapangan terbang terbesar di negara ini Lodz dibuka pada tahun 2012.

EU Smart Border Control for Third Countries nationals

Smart borders': enhancing mobility and security
The EU is moving towards a more modern and efficient border management by using state-of-the-art technology. Today, the Commission proposed a 'smart border package' to speed-up, facilitate and reinforce border check procedures for foreigners travelling to the EU. The package consists of a Registered TravellerProgramme (RTP) and an Entry/ExitSystem (EES) that will simplify life for frequent third country travellers at the Schengen external borders and enhance EU border security.
"The use of new technologies will enable smoother and speedier border crossing for third country citizens who want to come to the EU. Our aim is to facilitate the access of foreign travellers to the EU. This will not only be in the interest of the travellers but also the European economy. It has been estimated that in 2011 alone foreign travellers made a €271 billion contribution to our economy. Modernising our systems will also lead to a higher level of security by preventing irregular border crossings and detecting those who overstay'', said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.
Regulation on an EU Registered Traveller Programme (RTP)
A Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) will allow frequent travellers from third countries to enter the EU using simplified border checks, subject to pre-screening and vetting. It is estimated that 5 million legitimate non EU-travellers per year will make use of this new program. The RTP will make use of automated border control systems (i.e. automated gates) at major border crossing points such as airports that make use of this modern technology. As a result, border checks of Registered Travellers would be much faster than nowadays.
Business travellers, workers on short term contracts, researchers and students, third country nationals with close family ties to EU citizens or living in regions bordering the EU are all likely to cross the borders several times a year. Making it as easy as possible for them to come to the EU would ensure that Europe remains an attractive destination and help boosting economic activity and job creation.
Regulation on an EU Entry/Exit system
An Entry/Exit System (EES) will record the time and place of entry and exit of third country nationals travelling to the EU. The system will calculate the length of the authorised short stay in an electronic way, replacing the current manual system, and issue an alert to national authorities when there is no exit record by the expiry time. In this way, the system will also be of assistance in addressing the issue of people overstaying their short term visa.
The current practice used by Member States when checking a third country national wanting to cross the EU's external borders is based mainly on the stamps in the travel document. This practice is time consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings does not allow detecting overstaying in a workable way and cannot efficiently cope with cases of loss or destruction of the travelling documents. Moreover, today's systems will not allow the EU Member States to deal with the ever increasing pressure of travellers accessing and exiting the EU whose number, at the air borders alone, is expected to increase by 80%, from 400 million in 2009 to 720 million in 2030.
Background
Today's proposals follow a 2011 Communication (IP/11/1234), in which a discussion was launched between EU institutions and authorities about the implementation of new systems, in light of their added value, their technological and data protection implications, and their costs.
The proposals are part of the initiative to strengthen the overall governance of the Schengen area, as announced in the Communication on Migration adopted on 4 May 2011 (IP/11/532 and MEMO/11/273).
Next steps
Negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council on the RTP and the EES legislative proposals will now start. After adoption of the legal texts by the co-legislators, the establishment of the systems will take place with a view to start operations in 2017 or 2018.

STORYLINE
Flight passengers were restricted to taking only small only amounts of liquids on board planes as strict new security measures on hand baggage went into effect on Monday across the European Union.
The new EU rules limit passengers to carrying 100 millilitres (a fifth of a pint) of liquid per container on board planes - part of regulations imposed after British police said in August that they had broken up a plot to bring down US-bound flights with liquid-based explosives.
New restrictions on the size of carry-on luggage will be introduced in April.
All liquids - not only water and soft drinks but also soups, creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste and shaving cream - are subject to security checks before passengers board their planes.
The containers must fit into a clear re-sealable plastic bag to be presented at security checkpoints, officials said.
The new rules do not affect liquids packed in checked luggage, or drinks and perfumes bought at airport shops after passengers clear security.
Baby foods and medicines also are exempt but can be subject to inspection, officials said.
The rules went into effect on Monday at all airports within the 25-nation EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.
